Day 42. Not sure how I feel at the min, suppose I should make a concerted effort to sort my head out.
Haven’t done anything so only myself to blame for that 
Apparently, Ireland might be headed in to a full lockdown again, find out today whats goin on so that’s fun 
Have a great day everyone
I never have and never will consumed alcohol while writing. I saw my brother do that. His writing was crap and he ended up in ICU with liver failure that killed him at age 45. My problem was drinking in the evenings after knocking out a daily 1200 words. Didn’t do my craft any favors.
If you can in COVID, write where drinking is not allowed - the library. Otherwise, move to a new place in your home or apartment to get yourself out of the rut. Even the bathroom! Water, tea and lots of gum usually keeps the right brain at bay. Try it!
thanks! 1.2k a day is huge ! Inspiring 
@RosaCanDo I will read the Secret Garden!!! Thank you for encouraging me to read it🙏🏾 I hope letting you know about it .
Day 4 sober. A great day ahead
@Mychelle thank you for your post. I need to read that. 
thank you. At least you can say that one person had been nicely affected by your message
Or crashed into it! 
You’re more than welcome! I truly mean it! Don’t ever forget how loved and worthy you are! Thank you for letting me know that it helped. 
Download Scrivener. It’s an affordable, practical word program with great word count and writing apps.
Briella (sorry I misspelled!) - I can relate so much! So many false starts…it sounds like you have re-evaluated your attempts, see what isn’t working and are trying something different. That’s great!! I also felt like I made too many changes, too fast last time. Congrats on your week sober!!! I’m looking forward to seeing you around more.
That’s a lot! Not to mention all the stress energy just floating in the air EVERYWHERE in our country right now, amirite? I wish you the best during this month and thank you for working on something so very important to our democracy. I hope you make time to take care of yourself!
Day 115 clean and sober today. A little nervous about the first day of class today (on zoom though) but it’s the school I’ve wanted to go to since I was 16years old. Starting to get a little anxious about being able to get back into life and do well at it. Though I’ve just recently transitioned into a sober living house with so much freedom it’s still scary as I was in the treatment program for 3 months going to group everyday. I know it’s just one foot in front of the other and doing the next indicated step but still a challenge to me. Not sure if any of that made sense lol. Have a fantastic day today everyone, love you guys!!! 
Thank you. Support means so much, especially since I can’t whine about any of this at home…or work. But we ALL have our struggles and while we can’t control what life hits us, choosing sobriety is a big help in management. Be well, @RosaCanDo
Yes I was having symptoms for several days. I’m feeling much better now. Thank you Maria. I hope to hear today!
Happy Monday! Its great waking up after a weekend without a hangover and shaking.
Have an awesome day my friends!
Ain’t that the truth! Happy Monday to you, too!
Nice one, Paul! 
Hi Rob,
It’s great you are getting your life back together again in your sober you. I know that there is a lot happening for you now with your thoughts and emotions as you adjust, look back and look forward. Some things take time before you know you are making the right choices but I am glad you are making positive progress.
I am at a similar length of sobriety (this time) as you - 114 days (I just looked it up)so I can relate to that reawakening. Keep strong mate. 
We talked about this in my Recovery Dharma meeting last night. About what it means to have a practice. About how a practice is consistently taking the actions that have helped us. Not only taking them when we feel like it, but especially when we don’t.
I’ve seen you get through some struggles a couple times now, Mike. I’ve seen you work through them and maintain most of your routines along the way. It may not have felt awesome in the moment, but I think it is and it shows me that I can do the same, if and when the time comes. I appreciate you sharing the ups and downs with us. I’m glad to see you feeling a bit better today, man.
I’m sorry to hear about your Mum. I feel you, my Mum has Alzheimer’s. It definitely feels strange to see them change. I’ve had such a hard time to come terms with the fact that my parents are mortal. They’ve been those people who, especially when I was a kid, seemed so invincible.
